The Skies of Lincoln County
A#m G# A#m G# A#m
A#m G#
My name is William Bonny and I have some things to tell
A#m G#
All about my life 'n death and the way things are in Hell
Gb A#m Gb C#
And lies they told about me after Garrett shot me down
G#
In Mexico, in 1881
A#m G#
Twenty one were the lives that Garrett said I took
A#m G#
That was just another lie he wrote down in his book
Gb A#m Gb C#
For he had to make it seem as though I were the Devils seed
G#
but the lives I took, they were three
Gb C#
And the skies of Lincoln County were as blue as blue could be
Gb C# G#
And the sun that shines on you, well it used to shine on me
Gb C#
And I knew the smell of woodsmoke and I liked the taste of beer
G#
The only difference now, is I'm not here
Gb A#m
I'm in New Mexico and it's 1881
A#m G#
F man who'd lie to save his skin won't look you in the eye
A#m G#
Garrett never saw my face when he let those bullets fly
Gb A#m Gb C#
And I died there in Pete Maxwell's room, no boots upon my feet
G#
In the dark, and all alone
A#m G#
They had themselves an inquest, and then they buried me
A#m G#
They made me into something that I never meant to be
Gb A#m Gb C#
And the vultures came and chipped away the headstone on my grave
G#
And then took it home, for souvenirs
Gb C#
And the skies of Lincoln County were as blue as blue could be
Gb C# G#
And the sun that shines on you, well it used to shine on me
Gb C#
And I knew the smell of woodsmoke and I liked the taste of beer
G#
The only difference now, is I'm not here
Gb A#m
I'm in New Mexico and it's 1881
Gb C#
History books are written by the ones who survive
Gb C#
Garrett was the one who came out of that room alive
Gb A#m Gb C#
And he harnessed up my ghost, made it sing and dance
G#
And I am dancing still, I'm dancing still
A#m G#
The corners of my Hell, they never ever change
A#m G#
I am doomed forever to this little piece of range
Gb A#m Gb C#
Trapped here by a legend that's no making of my own
G#
I look around, and I see.
Gb A#m
It's still New Mexico and it's 1881
Gb C#
And the skies of Lincoln County were as blue as blue could be
Gb C# G#
And the sun that shines on you, well it used to shine on me
Gb C#
And I knew the smell of woodsmoke and I liked the taste of beer
G#
The only difference now, is I'm not here
Gb A#m
I'm in New Mexico and it's 1881
Gb A#m
It's still New Mexico and it's 1881
